Chapter 559: Chapter 321: Old Demon Duan’s Monstrous Crimes—Destroying the Martial Arts Legend and Love
Desert, Bi Lake, pavilions and towers like the scenery of Jiangnan.
The ruggedness of the desert and the scenery of the water towns merge together, forming a magical picture.
This is Yellow Jade Island, arguably the most beautiful place in this vast desert.
But ever since the lineage of the Jade Guanyin on the island was exterminated by Old Demon Duan, this previously mysterious island filled with the living dead has taken on a ghostly aura.
Clearly appearing as a gentle water town, now lifeless and dead, it’s as if it’s a tomb.
The tale of Old Demon Duan wiping out the Jade Guanyin had been circulating outside for a while.
But this extremely mysterious island had never been investigated by anyone.
Firstly because the Jade Guanyin was mysteriously formidable, even if the new Demon Old Demon Duan wanted to kill her on her own turf, it wouldn’t be that easy, so in the eyes of many in the Martial World, this could be false news.
The Jade Guanyin was cunning and lascivious by nature; releasing false information might be a trap to entrap, and those wise would just consider it for amusement.
And there were some who despaired of life, willing to be killed by this world’s most beautiful woman, but unfortunately, such frustrated people often lacked the capability and perished in the desert before even finding the entrance, let alone the complex and engulfing Devil City.
But today, the water waves alongside Yellow Jade Island rippled, as three men and a woman entered.
These four were known as the "West Mountain Four Rats", famous tomb robbers.
Among them, the Red Rat, who was also the only woman, was reportedly a disciple of the leading Rat Phase of the Twelve Star Signs.
She ranked third among the Four Rats, surrounded by the other three male rats, seemingly weaker, but she was actually the true leader of the Four Rats.
West Mountain Rat and Four Rats all counted as her lovers, as for why Er Shu wasn’t, it was because Er Shu was too ugly, she couldn’t bring herself to.
With a splash, the Red Rat emerged from the water.
The Red Rat’s fiery red hair was striking, and she was quite petite, appearing from a distance like a child.
Yet you absolutely couldn’t say she didn’t have a good figure; she was short but well-proportioned, even giving the illusion of curves and long legs.
A woman like this, dripping wet, would evoke a distinct allure.
It’s known that many men in this world like to conquer such seemingly small yet fierce women.
Sadly, the three rats beside her had no such desires at the moment.
Because they had arrived at Yellow Jade Island.
This island, rumored to be mysterious and extremely terrifying in the Martial World.
It could be said they were the first group to set foot on the island in a very long time.
Because not many have the courage, ambition, and strength combined.
Even though they excelled in tomb raiding and trap disarming, the Four Rats still had to expend a lot of effort to get here.
The weather was gloomy, and not a soul was seen on the island.
Visibly, many buildings were already covered in sand and wind.
This indicated that no one had cleaned here for some time.
Could it be true that the lineage of the Jade Guanyin was exterminated by Old Demon Duan, leaving only an empty island?
Initially, the Four Rats were careful and cautious, fearing that they might accidentally encounter the Jade Guanyin and her disciples and face utter destruction.
Later, after exploring most of the island without seeing a single person and encountering traces of battle left behind, they gradually set their minds at ease.
The entire island seemed almost demolished, surely the Jade Guanyin met a formidable adversary, coupled with the uninhabited appearance of the island, this sufficiently proved that the rumor was true.
The Jade Guanyin’s lineage was dead, what remained was for the Four Rats to search for treasures.
As one of the most mysteriously feared women in the Martial World, seducing countless, her complete mastery skills were naturally exceptional.
The people of the Martial World yearn for nothing but the Divine Skill Secret Manual all their lives; since the Four Rats braved such danger to come to the island, they naturally sought to find something valuable.
With their abundant tomb-raiding experience, the West Mountain Four Rats quickly pinpointed the location of the collapse and began digging skillfully.
Given that they sought dragons and pinpointed tombs, and the trajectory of the Yellow Jade Vein on Yellow Jade Island gathered energy and breath, the collapse happened to be the best feng shui spot.
It could be said the Martial World favors the brave; they eventually discovered the secret chamber of the Jade Guanyin on the second day.
The Jade Guanyin’s secret chamber, though already destroyed, might still have remnants.
So behind that vermilion door, where the jade veins gathered over the rise, the West Mountain Four Rats began to dig again.
Just as the shovel made an incision into the jade vein, the Red Rat suddenly glanced at a corner, nervously saying, "Who is it?"
The secret chamber had been previously damaged by Duan Yun, with the floor still littered with burnt mineral residues; these distorted residues resembled ghastly arms, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Accustomed to such eerie sites from their long experience in tomb raiding, the West Mountain Four Rats, out of professional habit, lit a candle in the southwest corner of the secret chamber.
The candle’s flame wasn’t bright; initially, they noticed nothing unusual, but at this moment, the sharp-eyed Red Rat noticed.
There was the silhouette of a woman in one corner of the chamber.
Throughout their tomb raiding, the West Mountain Four Rats had encountered many bizarre incidents, already developing a certain courage.
But this secret chamber of the Jade Guanyin turned out to be more frightening than any ghost tomb they had previously raided.
Their hands subconsciously reached for their weapons.
These were four greenish shovels, clearly laced with poison.
This "Green Ant Poison" not only makes rocks and soil easier to loosen up but, when it lands on a person, it quickly digs into the flesh and bones, causing unimaginable pain.
